Chapter 185: Willing to be indifferent
Da Zhuang and Heizi ran upstairs and downstairs twice, causing beads of sweat all over their heads, and shouted, "Master, do you still want to open a tavern, this small building is smaller than the shop on the dock." ”
Heizi also said, "Master, Uncle Tie is so stingy, it would be nice if I gave my sister a big restaurant." ”
Rui Xue knocked them on the slap and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate your Uncle Tie, he looks rough and arrogant, in fact, there are fine in the rough, he must have heard in advance that our dock shop sells ordinary food, so he sent such a small restaurant, and I looked at it just now, the surrounding people live in the small officials or small businessmen who work in the government, and the life is not very rich, but it is still okay to go to the tavern for three or two days, we just get up casually, and we will definitely not lose the capital." ”
Heizi and Da Zhuang were a little unbelieving when they heard this, and they took Wu Yu out to go out together, and soon ran back, and said in unison, "What Shi Niang said is so right, outside the two alleys is the bolt's house." There are a few grocery stores next to it, and the business is also very good, and although the clothes worn by the people who come in and out are not satin, they are all good cotton. ”
Rui Xue smiled lightly, took the silver money from the purse, asked them to buy some buckets, brooms and other things, cleaned the inside and outside of the small building briefly, gathered the objects that could still be used, and then changed the locks on the front and back doors, and the group got back in the car and went back to the village.
In the evening, Zhao Fengnian's brothers carried a few wild boars and hares back, and it was rare to have a half-sized red fox, the mountains around the village were not high, and the villagers were mostly hunting some hares and pheasants on weekdays, this fox was rare, and the children all gathered together to see the novelty.
Ruixue peeled and juiced a few fruits that she bought in the city during the day, put them in the well water to cool them in advance, and then brought them to Zhao Fengnian and a few people to drink, and the four of them all praised it together, Zhao Fengnian asked Amber where there was one, and then said, "Although it is not autumn, the fox fur is not so smooth, but it is not bad, you have to clean it up, make a sleeve, and you will not be afraid to do it when you go out and wear it in winter." ”
Rui Xue was happy in her heart, smiled faintly, and was about to speak, but Bai Zhanpeng drank all the juice in one gulp, and said angrily, "That was obviously hunted by me, and it was robbed by the second brother." ”
This tone was like a child who was robbed of candy, which made several people laugh, and Tie Boss said loudly, "When you eat dry food at noon, don't you say that the bookbox tofu made by your younger brother and sister tastes good, and the fox skin is given to your younger brother and sister, and at night you will let your younger brother and sister make that tofu for you to eat, which is considered a reward, how about it?" ”
Bai Zhanpeng snorted, noncommittal, but everyone saw the joy from the corners of his slightly upturned mouth, Rui Xue was funny, and he really made two plates of tofu boxes at night, and Bai Zhanpeng, who ate directly, was satisfied.
The night breeze is blowing, blowing the newly blooming osmanthus flowers, the fragrance is refreshing, after dinner, the wooden table in the osmanthus forest put a snack and tea, everyone gossiped for a while, Rui Xue couldn't bear to be sleepy, went to sleep first, came out to join in the fun, Mr. Yan, who saw a ceremony, also said goodbye and went back, leaving only the four brothers to continue to blow the wind and be silent.
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, your poison has been cured, your wife and children are also available, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, so we don't worry about it." Boss Tie stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Fengnian's shoulder, not regretting it in his heart, the brothers will not be able to get together often in the future, but in the end, the most important thing is that the brothers can live the days they like.
Bai Zhanpeng was still a little unwilling, and still persuaded, "Second brother, I heard that Uncle Zhao has been showing signs of improvement recently, although he still can't speak, but as long as he asks An Bo Shi to prescribe medicine, I am afraid that he will get better in less than half a month." When the time comes, there must be a saying for the grievances and sufferings you have suffered, that is, the family business laid down with one hand and one foot, and it is really given to the mother and son who are femme fatales, are you willing? ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled faintly, raised his glass to replace the wine with tea, and saluted the moon above his head, "The moon is really round tonight." ”
Bai Zhanpeng was so angry that he almost choked up, angrily snatched the tea in his hand and drank it dry, and said angrily, "It's all said, gentle township, hero mound, but it's just to marry a woman, how can it be the same as it was at the beginning." If you don't do it, you have to be a workshop shopkeeper in this poor country! ”
"Your honey, my arsenic. Since the past few months, wandering between life and death, I have figured out that no matter how big the Zhao family's yard is, it is not as comfortable as the current small yard, the Zhao family's garden is full of famous flowers, it is not as pleasing to the eye as these laurel trees, the Zhao family's business earns a thousand taels of silver, and it is not as good as this small workshop to make me happy every day. Besides, no matter how difficult and dangerous it was, I was still alone, and now that I have a good wife and a good child, how can I take that risk again, if there is fire poison and snake venom in their soup bowl next time, I am afraid that I will not be able to help but kill... I don't care who raised me as an adult, and who is my blood brother..."Zhao Fengnian didn't waver at all, and said lightly as usual, but Bai Zhanpeng was very helpless, people are always like this, sometimes, there are always things more important than their own lives that need to be carefully guarded, cautious, and even repeatedly retreated.
Mu San leaned back on the wooden chair in silence, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "The second brother has never been bad like this, the rivers and lakes are sinister, the shopping malls are treacherous, and the family business is striking. ”
"Count me in, I'll bring your sister-in-law with me too." Tie Lao laughed and agreed, and the three brothers raised their cups of tea, causing Bai Zhanpeng to roll his eyes, "I'm a villain again, it's okay, it's okay for you to be happy, I can't get used to living in this rural place." ”
Zhao Fengnian said with a smile, "If you have something to contact me, send a letter to the shopkeeper Cheng, presumably your actions can't avoid the eyes and ears of the rivers and lakes, the Zhao family... I'm afraid that I have long thought that I am no longer alive, and those industries should be regarded as the hard money they have raised me for the past twenty years. ”
"The second brother is really generous, Wan Guan's family wealth is just given away, if it is given to the abbot of Tiande, I am afraid that it can be exchanged for a few more hundred poison pills." Bai Zhanpeng is really painful, he is also in business, but he knows how many industries the Zhao family has, so he is naturally a little more distressed than Boss Tie and Mu San.
Zhao Fengnian smiled calmly, "The Hundred Poison Pill is Amber's handiwork, everyone else is in our house, and I will be my child's master in the future, so I don't have to worry about anything." ”
"Oh, that's a good thing, in the future, a few of us won't have to rely on the face of our little nephew." When the three of them heard that Amber had accepted the apprentices, they were all overjoyed, and they all laughed and praised.
As the night deepened, the brothers had finished their heartfelt words and dispersed.
Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the three of them rode on their own roads, full of farewell wine on the side of the mountain road, looking at the figure of their former friends, after turning around in the dense shade, they disappeared, Zhao Feng sighed at the end of the year, Rui Xue stepped forward and hugged his arm, and the couple did not speak for a long time.
Say goodbye to a chic, unrestrained life, and will be willing to be calm and indifferent for life, although you don't regret it, but your heart is still inevitably faintly lost.
For three days in a row, the shopkeeper of the Zhao family often sat in the laurel forest with a teacup and looked at the sky, as if he was a goshawk with wings falling from the sky, and wanted to scream a few times.
Rui Xue looked distressed and funny, under the pretext that the new shop in the city was going to be renovated, she pulled him up as a counselor, drew patterns, pondered food, and even discussed the distribution of manpower.
The new shop was named "Wine Biter" by Rui Xue, a very strange name, which was unanimously opposed by everyone, but Rui Xue insisted and refused to replace it.
Because when she was young, the family conditions were not good, every time her father had a happy event, or the work in the field was too tired, he would give up two yuan in the village shop at night, buy five or six chicken feet with sauce, and divide one for each of their sisters and brothers, and the rest was held in her hand, with half a catty of grain wine, slowly gnawed, until her face was red, and her eyes were full of satisfaction. It is the most comfortable time, so the new shop decided to sell snacks with wine, so it is natural to take such an image and appropriate name.
The pregnant woman is the largest, and this shop was originally opened to please her, but everyone argued for two sentences and gave in.
So, a very simple Nanmu carved these three words, the font is curved and oblique, as strange as the name, of course, this is also Rui Xue's handwriting, Zhao Fengnian's penmanship is too orthodox, and she really can't write the kind of humor she wants.
The shop is freshly painted inside and out, the vermilion columns, the brown doors and windows, the snow-white window paper, a few marquee lamps are hung under the eaves, a high wooden pole is erected at the corner of the house, and a big wine guise is hung, and it is displayed in the wind, and it can be seen clearly when you walk out for a few miles.
In the lobby on the first floor, in addition to the counter at the door, there are a few tables and chairs placed on the inside, and the left and right sides are pale white pine shelves, and the shelves are raised from a waist-high position, and there are three rows of wooden flutes.
On the second floor, all the partitions are broken, a two-foot-high wooden couch is built on all sides, a small low table and a soft cushion are placed on the couch, and more than a dozen three-fold screens are placed aside, and the expansion is an independent space, and the open and lively hall is folded up, and the screen is painted with landscapes, maids, or lively spring travel pictures, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of this small building.
The Yun brothers and Ma Shiyi are busy outside with the cultivation of cow beans, and the family workshop is managed by Zhang Dahe, so this new shop is Gao Fuquan and the people are busy Zhang Luo, seeing that after hugging the front building, he began to change his appearance day by day, and he also had some activities in his heart, thinking that now the big head of the tofu business has become a restaurant in the city, and their husband and wife go out to sell it every day, which has no great effect, if they can take over this new shop, it is a great opportunity.
So on this night, their husband and wife came to the door to discuss, and it happened that Rui Xue also had such a plan in her heart, the Gao family and his wife were the first to follow her to do business, they were trustworthy, and they were willing to work hard and endure hardships, and they were put into the city, and they could also take care of the two small stores that sold tofu, so they were really good candidates who killed two birds with one stone. It's just that when the couple entered the city, the care of the children at home became a problem, especially when the sunspot was still studying, and he couldn't find a good private school when he went to the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised this question, Cui Niang already responded with a smile, "Two small ones, we can take them with us, Dalu is also six or seven years old, and it is okay to take care of my sister." The sunspot is placed at Zhang's sister-in-law, and it is a companion to read and play with Da Zhuang, and we just need to make up some food silver every month. ”
